Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of desulfurization slag resource utilization, such as a method for the targeted recycling and resource utilization of refined phosphoric acid desulfurization slag. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demand for electronic-grade and food-grade phosphoric acid, as well as the rapid development of the lithium iron phosphate battery industry, phosphoric acid purification and refining has become an important industry in the phosphoric acid chemical industry. Refined phosphoric acid desulfurization residue is a byproduct of phosphoric acid purification and desulfurization.
[0003] The main component of refined phosphoric acid desulfurization slag is calcium sulfate, which is also the main component of phosphogypsum. Currently, the world's annual wet-process phosphoric acid production capacity is close to 300 million tons (based on P2O5), and this industrial chain alone emits nearly 1.5 billion tons of phosphogypsum annually. However, the actual utilization rate of phosphogypsum is less than 5%, and large quantities of phosphogypsum are stored in the open, occupying significant amounts of land and causing environmental pollution from leachate. Meanwhile, the world's annual industrial phosphoric acid production capacity is approximately 60 million tons (based on P2O5), with desulfurization slag production of about 20 million tons, greatly increasing the pressure on phosphogypsum disposal.
[0004] Currently, the comprehensive utilization of phosphogypsum mainly focuses on cement retarders, roadbed materials, and building gypsum powder. This utilization method is not only energy-intensive but also cannot be produced on a large scale continuously, and it will also cause secondary pollution to the environment. In addition, phosphogypsum has many impurities and low whiteness, which leads to relatively low enthusiasm for its utilization in industry.
[0005] CN106744769A discloses a method for producing feed-grade calcium phosphate and co-producing ammonium sulfate using phosphogypsum. This method uses phosphogypsum, a byproduct of phosphate fertilizer plants, as raw material. The phosphogypsum is defluorinated and activated, and a reaction aid is added to react with ammonium dihydrogen phosphate. The product is then prepared through filtration, concentration, crystallization, and drying, and feed-grade calcium phosphate is produced, co-producing industrial ammonium sulfate. CN115180598A discloses a comprehensive utilization process for phosphogypsum, including the following steps: (1) phosphogypsum is purified to obtain calcium sulfate. The calcium sulfate is slurried and then mixed with organic acid and a diluent for extraction and phase separation. The resulting aqueous phase is dilute sulfuric acid. (2) The oil phase obtained from the phase separation is back-extracted with phosphoric acid, and the resulting aqueous phase is sent to the calcium phosphate production system. The oil phase is returned to step (1) for mixing and extraction. Although the above methods can utilize phosphogypsum to produce some products, the resource utilization of phosphogypsum is not high, and the products cannot achieve high yield and high purity.
[0006] Targeted recycling refers to a process of reusing a product after it has been scrapped, by rationally decomposing and recombining it to produce a similar product with the same or similar performance. Therefore, based on the principle of targeted recycling, providing a method for the resource utilization of refined phosphoric acid desulfurization residue is of great significance. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The following is an overview of the subject matter described in detail herein. This overview is not intended to limit the scope of the claims.
[0008] This application provides a method for the targeted recycling and resource utilization of refined phosphoric acid desulfurization residue. Compared with related technologies, the method provided by this application can prepare high-purity barium sulfate, ammonium sulfate and phosphoric acid, realize the recycling of materials, has a simple process, is easy to industrialize, and has high environmental benefits.
[0009] This application provides a method for the targeted recycling and resource utilization of refined phosphoric acid desulfurization residue, the method comprising the following steps:
[0010] The desulfurization residue and the leaching agent are first mixed to obtain a first suspension, wherein the leaching agent includes an organic solvent, and the organic solvent includes methyl isobutyl ketone and fatty alcohol;
[0011] The first suspension is filtered first to obtain the first filtrate;
[0012] The first filtrate is subjected to desulfurization treatment and second filtration in sequence to obtain the second filtrate;
[0013] The second filtrate was back-extracted to obtain phosphoric acid.
[0014] The method provided in this application uses refined phosphoric acid desulfurization residue as raw material, the main component of which is calcium sulfate, and also contains a small amount of barium sulfate, trace amounts of barium carbonate, calcium carbonate, and phosphates (such as calcium phosphate, barium phosphate, or magnesium iron aluminum phosphate). This application obtains high-purity and high-recovery phosphoric acid through operations such as leaching, first filtration, desulfurization treatment, second filtration, and back-extraction. This application uses methyl isobutyl ketone and fatty alcohol as leaching agents. Methyl isobutyl ketone is an organic solvent with a low boiling point (116℃) and low viscosity (0.5 mPa·s), which is easily evaporated and regenerated, and has good binding force to phosphoric acid.
